Israeli soldiers' 'trophy' pictures

Former Israeli soldier Eden Abergil's Facebook photos of her posing with Palestinian prisoners has sparked accusations that 'souvenir photos' are widespread in the army. Veterans' group Breaking the Silence has released a number of soldiers' pictures, some showing dead Palestinians. The pictures were released with the soldiers' faces obscured, apart from the image of Abergil. The Guardian has pixellated the faces of the Palestinians

Shots of soldiers with their 'trophies' are commonplace, says Breaking the Silence. Not seeing Palestinians as human beings is the default position for many in the Israeli Defence Force, the group adds

Israeli soldiers stand by the bloodied and broken body of a man.
